Gaim maintainer here... as far as I remember, Gaim's debs from unstable build on woody without modification, except for disabling gtkspell because woody doesn't have that lib. In fact, I built 0.63 for you, available here: http://people.debian.org/~robot101/gaim-woody/gaim_0.63-1.0woody1_i386.deb
Hopefully that works for you, but I'll answer your questions anyway, for interest's sake. =) On Mon, May 19, 2003 at 01:33:45AM -0500, Caitrin Torres wrote: > 1.

Gtk2 is already in woody. apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev gets you the header files. > Thanks for the help, > > -- > caitrin torres Regards, Rob
